Instiki devel - Feb 2007 - Fwd: instiki osx package for 0.11

hello list,
Oleg Kourapov will help creating an osx package for the 0.11 version
of instiki. hopefully also for the upcoming 0.12 release. anyone can
help out with how to package ruby to include with the osx package, so
instiki would not use the 1.8.2 that comes with osx?

thanks,
matthias

Hi! I really don''t have time for long e-mails so sorry it took me so
long to answer you.

The problem I get running stock Instiki on my MacBook Pro is related
to the built-in version of ruby - it quits with errors when trying to
do basic stuff, i.e. it will show the first page no problem but when
you click a link or do just about anything else it will bail out.

The solution I discussed previously with Alex, ex-maintainer, was to
bundle the latest custom-built ruby with the package. However, I has
not succeded trying to run ruby from custom directory yet - if you can
give me any hints, I''d appreciate that.

This week we have a holiday in Russia so I''ll have an extra day on
weekend and am willing to spend at least a part of it hacking together
a MacOSX build of v0.11.

Cheers!
